[pianotech] Slightly OT: Movie recommendation

[David Love]

FWIW the film doesn't really focus on the "spiritual".  There are several
issues that are addressed about commitment to one's craft and all are worth
considering in light of our own work.  But what struck me was the notion of
doing the same thing every day, never being satisfied, always striving to do
better, never getting complacent, always looking for new ideas.  True
mastery is only sought after, never achieved.  There's a nice side bar about
passing on one's business and why that is so difficult in a trade in which
people identify what you do with you.  I found it meaningful.  Worth a look.
Nothing terribly woo woo, very grounding.  At least I thought it was.

The discussion began when David Love was commenting on a film that, in his
mind, paralleled our own commitment to craft in piano work, if one is
serious about their work as a lifelong endeavor.   Work can be a spiritual
activity and  is not necessarily the same thing as religious activity, nor
is it political.  Being purposeful in our work is very relevant to what we
do.  

 

I'm all for Inner Silliness and practice Humor as a spiritual activity every
day (I hope you realize I'm poking you a little bit now.. J)  As for Inner
Stillness, why wait til you are dead when you can have all the fun now?
